Chronic Headaches Treatment

• One of the problems that are caused when the
  lymph system malfunctions is a headache. A lot of
  headaches are a result of increased lymph in the
  tissue around the brain. This increased fluid
  causes pressure and therefore pain. The lymph
  from the head drains into the lymph nodes on the
  right side of the neck. So increased tension as a
  result of 'getting up tight' leads to so-called
  tension headaches.
• By stimulating the lymph flow with Manual Lymph
  Drainage symptoms headaches can be reduced. To
  maintain the lymph flow we use Connective Tissue
  Manipulation to the neck to reduce the tension
  around the base of the neck where the lymph
  empties into the blood stream. If you have a
  problem in the autumn with leaves blocking an
  outside drain, clearing the leaves helps the
  problem in the short term.

• Placing a cover over the drain will prevent the
  blockage recurring in the future. So a patient
  with frequently recurring headaches is treated
  with Manual Lymph Drainage to alleviate their
  pain and Connective Tissue Manipulation so that
  their headaches become less and less frequent.
  The effects of Connective Tissue Manipulation are
  cumulative. Once the tension has been reduced by
  treatment that reduction is maintained. The
  degree to which it is maintained is conditional
  upon the level of stress put into the system by
  the patient's lifestyle.
